" The Dutch People, Sire, known in the annals of history •by the exploits Of their het oes, by the spotless character of their Statesmen, and the exer tions made by them ..to obtain and maintain their independertce, are still possessed of a strong reual leCtion of the virtues of their forefathers. - .

His Imperial - Majesty returned the following Answer : " Gentlemen, Deputies of the Legislative Body, of the land and sea knees or Heih,nd, and Gentle- Ellen Deputies. of my good Coy of Ainsterd,tm-- For these thirty years you tia.e experieticed many vicissitudes. You lust your levity when one of the great Officers of the Republic, tavouree by Eng ' land, employed Prussian bayonets to interrupt the dello:rations of your Couu,els : it was Well Ilia the wise Consteution, padded doWn to you by you lorefathers, was des.royed for, ever. " You formed a part of the coalition, in conse quence of white, French atines cutiqu •red your country : an event which was the una.o.daeie ..on sequence of the alliance with Leglend. Ater toe cceluee, a distinct Goveinment was terined,yet your R. public formed pat t of the Empire : yedi troug fo• tresses,. and the prheepai positions hi your couotry, - were occupied by Ftc lice troops, and your Government was ctiang‘.e a. cording to the op nioes which succeeded each outer in Fiance.

I gave you a Prince of my ulood for your Ruler ; this-was intended as a bond- the con cern, of your Republic with the rights of - this Em pire. My hopes have been deceived ; 'arid on this occasion I hake shewn more foroearance than my character generally admits and my rghts 'reqiered. I have at length put a period to the painful uncer tainty of your future fate, and warded oft the fatal blow which threatened to annihilate ail your proper ty and all your resources. 1 _lave opened the Con threat to your national industry. The day shall wine when you are to conduct my eagles to the seas cele brated by the ext,loits of your ancestors. Then shall you shew yourselves worthy , of yourselves and of me. From this moment till that period, all the changes that take place in Europe shall have for their first motive the destruction of that tyrannical and irrational system which the English Govern- . , went, unmindful of the pernicious consequences which arise therefrom to its own country, to outlaw commerce and trade, and subject it to the aroritraiy authority of English licenses. " Geetlemen, Deputies of the Legislative Body, and of the land and sea forces, of Holland—and Gentlemen Deputies of my good City of Amster dam, tell my subjects of Holland, I feel perfectly satisfied they possess the sentiments they profess for me ; tell them, that I doubt not ,their loyal attach ment, 'and depend on their heartily joinieg their ex ertions to' those of the rest of my subjects, to re conquer tire'.-rights of the sea, the loss of which, five coalitions, invited by Englaild, hate let - Wiled on the Continent ; tell them, that in all circumstances they may reckon 013 my pecuiar protection.".

His Lordship in th e most awful and impressve manner passed sentence of Death on four criminalsa viz. on two men for horse-stealing, and on a soldier in the bOtli melt, and a youth of 14, for burglary ; to the three first he gave no reason to expect a miiigaliQn of their punishment, bum to the latter, on account of his ex treme yonth, anti having been encouraged to cow, wit the crime by those whose duty it was:to hare taught him better, h.s LorAlup promised to inter cede with his Majesty to save his • A servant' maid, wtio was cony d 0 of: having robbed her master of s , 'veral articles of plate, during. his absence from home, and which Were found - her box, his Lordship sentenced to betran,sported: . for. seven years. The case was, a most aggravated - one, She had, in order to conceal her own guilt,.. and to lead her master and neighbours to believe that the house had been broken open and robtied.by thieves, invented and rela.ed to a Magisrifte the.. most artful story of tier having been dragged. froin room to room by the hair of her head by a,bouSe- . ' breaker . , who bad burg her by the neck - with a cord to, a beam in one of the rooms, while he stole the • plate, and from which perilous . siTliatiOti she had, after the thief had left the house, disengaged her- - •self, by taking a knife out of her pocket, opening it with ii,rr teeth, and then editing the rope by which she was suspended. To give plausibility to the story, sbe had sawed the bars of a window asunder ; but from the evidence of - a carpenter, It .! clearly 'appeared that they, must have been sawed -by a person within, and not withobt ',the house.

The particulars are thus related by him un der the sanction of a voinntary affidav i t, made on the 18th it),t.— " And firstel depese solemnly, that, alter an at tendance of six -nights, (nut sq :cessive), at Mr. Chave's house, in the village of Sawpford, and with a mind perfectly unprejudiced, after the most minute investigation, and .• closest inspection of all tee pre mises, I em. uttetly unable to account for any of the phenomena I have there seen-aed tieard, and labour at this moment under no-seeill perplexey, arising from a determination not likely to admit of super natural inteiference, and an impossibility of hitherto tracing these etfeets to any human - cause. I farther depose, that in my, visits to iN f ir.

Also, teat I have, in presence of many gentlemen, repeat edly.sworn the do.nestics to the etfeet, namely—that they were not only utterly ignorant of the cause of those'circumstanLes which then: astonished us, but • also of the closes of many - ()tiler things equally un accountable, which we ourselves did not Dear or app s but eoutnot which they also -swore, no le s s than to' their petted ignorance of the means by which they were produced. Also, that I have al fixed 'a seal with a crest 'to every door, c„vity, &c. in the house, through which any Communications could be carried on; that this..seal was applied to each. end of sundry pieces of paper, in sucn a man ner that the slightest attempt to open such doors, or to pass such cavities, must have broken these papers, in which place my crest must have preveuted their being replaced tviihout discovery that none of these papers were deranged or broken ; and also, that the phenomena of that night were as unaccountable as ever.

Also, that there are more than twenty peo 'pie of credibility, quite unconnected with the own( or the pie , ela tenants of I his house in question, w hu have ratted to me the most astonishing .c.reum stances they have seen and heard on these premises; all of which they are ready to substantiate if called upon, on oath. Also, that it-appears that this plot, it it be a plot, bath been carried on for many -non' hi, that it must be in the hands of more than 5o people, . all of - whom are ready to perjnre . themselves, though not one of them could possible gain any thing by it; that the present , ,owner is, losing the v al ue o f hi s house, the tenant, the custeiurs,ut.nils A nem fear now preteirts•froin'Viiiiing it after sun -set, an d , that the domestics are losing their rest; arida!! terse 'evils are with most exerneleryepatience•est e be te d to,• without any objea but the. keeping of a ridicu .louS•secret—which, although so many are privy to it, and many more interested- in diseoverino, hat h not vet been divulged; although such a disclosure would be - attended with circumstances highly ad. vantageous and gratifying to any person who could be induced to'cliscover it."
